I expected more protests than encountered. Both a tribute to the police force and maybe a lack of enthusiasm when the protesters didn't get much TV time. But one segment had a man (Waller?) in the street, interview some protestors and asked one what he was protesting....I'm against Capitalism. What's your alternative was answered as Socialism. What socialist country has done well ...answer Cuba..CUBA!!!!! Oh well it's like the picture The Wild One where biker Marlon Brando was asked what he's rebelling against and he responded "What ya got!" to the asker.
The LGBT was up front at times with Mr. Thiel, an openly gay person, and founder of PayPal and investor in Face book. He stated that he is proud to be gay, a Republican and an American. He also talked about lack of tech emphasis in the Government. He had a good one liner...We don't need to know the contents of Hillary's deleted E-Mails, her incompetence is in plain sight.
Ken Burns, the sometimes illuminating, often boring documentary maker, said he was making a movie on Trump that compared his candidacy to the 30's Berlin. Really do we need another Michael Moore? BTW Ken, the liberal media machine reminds me of Goebbels control of it in the 40's, but making Republicans the scapegoat this time.
BTW Trump's daughter Ivanka showed that Trump has woman as 46% of his employees and equal pay is not an issue. He also has Ivanka as his most trusted advisor. Myth 1 killed, ladies. Trump does admire woman for their brain.
Most interesting talks were Chris Christie, acting in his former role as Federal Prosecutor going through Hillary's list of actions and asking the verdict. Over the top, but he vetted Hillary for the voters, so point made. Giuliani- "Police are guilty until proven innocent, criminals are innocent until proven guilty". Pence, speaking of the Trumps ......"You can't fake Kids like that" (and their upbringing). Donald Trump Jr in saying "when has any potential president that wouldn't be able to pass a background check (referring to Hillary)".
Giuliani was dynamic. Pence was steady and knowledgeable and as Gov. of Illinois garnered a $2B surplus, created 200K new jobs (happily claimed by Obama in his job numbers of course) and reduced both state tax and property tax. Newt Gingrich and Ben Carson scored well. Trump was controlled and covered a lot of ground over a longish (1 1/4 hour speech) and looked presidential. He had a lot of targets ready for shooting.
Which brings us to Cruz. I actually liked him a lot at the beginning of the Republican presidential race and he delivered a good talk until that last slightly veiled "vote your conscience (e.g. don't be party locked) and rightfully was booed off. Too bad, one career shot.
